Dawn gathering of the Pleiades, Hyades, Aldebaran, Orion, Venus and Jupiter

Hello,

Here is a cold portrait of the dawn gathering of the Pleiades, Hyades, Aldebaran, Orion, Venus and Jupiter as seen from our back garden in Brisbane, at a cool 4°C on Saturday, 4th August at 5:32am.

The photo is a single frame, 60 sec, ISO400 at F5.6 taken at the 17mm end of a Canon 17-40 F4L fitted to a Canon 40D.

The previous day I had just received my Astronomik CLS (EOS-Clip) filter from Bintel which I fitted to the 40D. Previously, I would not have even attempted this wide shot, directly into the glow of the Brisbane CBD due to the extreme light pollution.

Cheers

Dennis
